1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Coverage of exposed tendon and bone in upper-extremity injuries presents a reconstructive challenge, often requiring staged procedures or complex microsurgical reconstruction techniques. We present a case series using a single-stage approach with intact decellularized fish skin graft laminated with a simultaneous split-thickness skin autograft. This technique aims to reduce the number of surgeries and decrease time to complete healing. Two cases are reported: a dog-bite forearm injury with exposed extensor tendons devoid of peritenon and a work-related crush injury of the hand with exposed metacarpal fracture. Following definitive debridement, both cases ultimately achieved successful wound healing with simultaneous placement of decellularized fish skin graft laminated with split-thickness skin autograft without further interventions.
